of has been conducted for thirty yeats
by Fred Harvey, who manages the

modest and intelligent young women.
and dresses them in a tasteful and
attractive manner. Most of them
come from Michigan, where they are
selected by a woman of experience who
has remarkable talent for analyzing
character. She is kept busy, however,
because such attractive girls as she
sends out seldom remain in Mr. Har

Most of them receive a proposal of
marriage and sometimes two the first

According to the Topeka Capital,
its brand of reform has cost the state
of Kansas a few dollars lees than a
million a year. The state taxes this
year, according to this apostle of
reform, foot up a total of $934,638 05
more. than they were last year. In
other words, it cost Kansas practically
a million dollars more to have a genu
ine preform legislature, and a full
fledged reform governor, than it cost
us to have a half-baked reform legisla
ture) d Governor Hoch. The ques
tion that the taxpayers will naturally
ask themselves is whether Governor
Stubbsis worth a million a year more
to the state than Governor Hoch was.
There is no excuse to be offered by or
for an administration, county, state or
national, that will accept office under
a pledge of cuttiug down expenses,
and then pass laws creating expensive
boards and increasing expenditures
everywhere until the people are bur
dened with a million dollars in extra
taxes. Lawrence Gazette.
In an address before the National
Negro Business League, recently held
in Louisville Booker Washington
said: "When the league began its
work there were few drug stores own
ed or controlled by black people.
Now we have nearly two hundred. A
few years ago there were only half a
dozen negro banks in the country.
Now there are forty-seven. Drygoods
stores, grocery stores and industrial
enterprises to the number of over ten
thousand have sprung up in all parts
ofthe country. A little more than
forty years ago when the negro was
made Tree, he had almost no acres of
land. Now he has an acreage almost
as large as New England. Then he
had almost no homes, how he has 400,
000. homes. Then he had few farms,
aow he has 200,000 farms. Then he
had no insurance company, now he has
eighty-five. Then he had no under
takers, now he has several thousand.
When the America negro was made
free only about 3 per cent could read
and write. Now 57 per cent can both
read and write. Then he had few
churches, bow he has 26,000 churches."
FAIREST OF ALL TAXES.
The fairest of all taxes, and proba
bly the least popular, is the income tax.
Its incidence can be sufficiently dis
tributed so that it shall not press un
duly upon the shoulders of any parti
cular class. It is far superior to our
. state property tax, and the collection
of it in England has shown that the
possibilities of evading it are relatively
all. Next to the income tax, pro
bably the fairest method of collecting
reveaue is by, import duties, placed)

LENGTHENING LIFE.
Sometime ago the life-insurance
companies announced that they would
inaugurate a campaign of education
for the purpose of lengthening life.
Of course their ultimate object is fin
ancial gain, but that makes their ad
vice no less valuable to those who en
joy living. The first bulletin along
this line has beeq issued by the Provid
ent Savings Life Assurance society, of
New York. It is worthy of the atten
tion of many that the first advice in
this first bulletin is not to worry. The
three great causes of degentrative dis
eases are given as intemperance, poi
soning and heredity. By intemperan
ce is meant all forms of excesses, whe
ther in eating, drinking, working or
playing. Are you temperate? Tea,
coffee, tobacco and alcohol are' listed
among the poisons, and there is a
warning against the use of soda foun
tain products. Poisoning may also re
sult from excess in some particular
article of diet, or from general overeat
ing. Do you poison yourself, and
wonder that you don't feel belter?
Again, in closing, the bulletin indi
cates the influence of mind Oh the body
by saying: "Keep your temper, Ie
patient, and avoid needless excitement
and nervous strain." Most of this ad
vice is easy of application, and means
more years, and happier years. Sure
ly it is worth the effort. Atchison
Globe.
WHEN WITCHES WROUGHT.
Salem, Mass., is always connected
readily with the memory of innocent
persons executed as witches. But
this colonial town had no monopoly
on those outrages, which were common
enough throughout the world during
the 17th century. The life of the
early colonists of New England was
such as to give rapid growth to the
doctrine of possession by devils brought
from the old world. The Indians
were believed by many to be children
of Satan, and many thought the wild
beasts were sent by the powers of evil
to torment the elect. The theology of
the time was of a gloomy srt, and its
interpretation by leaders of the church
was the greatest cause of the trouble.
An impetus was given to the belief in
witchcraft by books by learned men.
At first these works were imported
from Europe, and then the colonial
clergy fell in line and wrote similar
books of their owu. By the latter
part of the 17th century these influ
ences were at work among the com
mon people, and cases of "possession"
were reported at Boston, Springfield,
Hartford, Groton and other colonial
towns, followed at times by death
sentences.
In the vear 1684, Increase Mather
published a book, "Remarkable Prov
idences," laying stress upon diabolic
possession and witchcraft. This book
was approved in England, which added
to its power in the colonies. In 1688
a poor family of Boston was afflicted
by demons; four children, the eldest
thirteen years of age, began leaping
and barking like dogs, or purring like
cats, and complained of being pinched,
pricked and cut. To relieve matters,
an old Irish woman was accused and
executed.
But the greatest single influence in
this evil course was Cotton Mather,
son of Increase, a strong man of great
ability and piety. This man was in
terested in his flock, and he seemed far
in advance of his time in accepting
many ofthe works of science, such as
Newtonian astronomy, and innocula
tion to prevent disease. But he clung
to the witchcraft theories of his father
and others, and his acceptance wielded
power. He also published a book on
"Memorable Providences," and recom
mended his work to the ministers of
the colonies. Out of all these causes,
and particularly from the latter, came
the worst outbreak of possessions and
executions in Salem.
The Rev. Samuel Parris was the
minister of the church of Salem. He
was possessed of high ideas of his own
infallibility, and had also a love of
ceremony, of prying and spying into
the affairs of others. Parris had
trouble with some of his parishoners
who objected to his ways. ' There were
quarrels in his church, and some of the
accusations doubtless grew out of
these. Two girls in the family of Mr.
Parris first became possessed, and
these placed the blame on an old
auuuuj wuujwj. iur. rams imme
diately summoned two magistrates.
The Indian woman was flogged until
she confessed, and other accusations
followed.and other confessions, brought
about by torture of one kind and
another. At first the charges wire
mostly against poor and vagrant oM
women, whose executions followed
but, emboldened by their success, they
attacked larger game, struck at orne
of the leading people of the commu
nity, and did not cease until some of-
these had been condemned to death.
In mo6t of these cases frenzy was
mixed with trickery. There was
method in their madness. Many of
the witches had been engaged in a
controversy, with the Salem church
people. Others of the accused had
quarreled with persons more or less
closely connected with those bringing
the accusation. The accusers were
usually girls or women. One of 'the
most fearful charges was brought
against a lovable woman, who losfhef
life apparently for no other reasom
than that she lived and dressed a little
better than her accuser. There was
almost as much revenge as fanaticism
in the whole affair. And it was par
ticularly dangerous to champion the
cause of the accused. For taking the
part of wife or mother, husbanda and
children were brought to the gallows.
One poor old woman was charged
with "giving a look toward the great
meeting house of Salem, and imme
diately a demon entered the house and
tore down part of it." This cause for
the falling of a bit of poorly nailed
wainscoating was readily accepted by
the judge and jury, as well as by the
great Cotton Mather, and the woman
was hanged, protesting her innocence.
The Rev. Mr. Burroughs, who had led
a blameless life, and taken little part
in the clamor of witchcraft, was accus
ed, convicted and executed. On the
scaffold he repeated the Lord's prayer
solemnly and fully, something it was
believed no sorcerer could do, and this
went far toward shaking the belief of
many in diabolic possession.
In the case of Giles Corey, 30 years
old, the persecution and ton u re to
force confession were carried to the
limit, for he refused to confess, thus
saving the property of his family
from confiscation. He was pressed to
death, and when, in his last agonies,
his tongue was pressed out of his
mouth, the sheriff with his walking
stick thrust it back again.
There followed numerous other con
victions and executions by the whole
sale, sometimes as many as eight being
hauled to the gallows at one time.
Such preachers as Noyes, Parris and
Mather, and such judges as Stoughton
and Haiborn, left nothing undone that
could stimulate these proceedings.
To Robert Calef, a Boston business
man, is due in great measure the lift
ing of the reign of terror brought on
by witchcraft. His reason was un
diramed, and he wasn't afraid of
Mather. Other people of less ability
were beginniug to see more clearly,
and he helped them. Mather and
Parris were placed upon the defensive.
The party of reason increased. Some
of the M!sesed confessed they had
accused victims wrongfully. Some of
the jurymen prominent in convictions
solemnly retracted their verdicts, and
craved the pardon of God and man.
The church of Salem solemnly revoked
the excommunications of the con
demned, and drove Mr. Parris from
the parish. Cotton Mather was a
beaten man, but he did not change his
distorted views, and spent his last
days iu groauing over the decline of
faith, and the ingratitude of the people
for whom he had done so much.
Robert Calef had written a book along
reasonable lines attacking the belief in
possession, and this was accepted by
English publishers who refused to
print more of Cotton Mather's books.
It was a step in the world's enlighten
ment. Atchison Globe.
According to the Grand Island In

sembly in that city lacked several
hundred dollars of taking in enough
money to pay expenses. This year's
assembly was the third in the history
of Grand Island, and the initial one is
the only one that scored a financial
success. The Independent attributes
the cause of waning interest and at
tendance to the policy of using the
chautauqua as a means of advancing
prohibition views without giving the
reverse side of the question equal op
portunity in the course of programs.
As a result, the paper says many li

ft STRANGE
The romantic friendship that exist
ed Wtweea Disraeli and Mrs. Will
yuins, of Torquay, Cornwall, is little
known, hot worth recording.
. It seems that' about the year 1849,.
Disraeli began to receive letters from
an unknown admirer, who expressed a
great desire'for an interview on "most
important business."
All public men, especially if they
have the brilliant dramatic qualities of
Disraeli, receive such letters. The
sensitive, artistic, neurotic female who
is ill-appreciated in her own heme, and
whose soul yearns for a "higher com
panionship," is numerous.
Disraeli's secretary used to take care
of such letters with a gentle explana
tion that the chief was out of town,
but upon his return, etc., etc, and that
was the last of it.
But this Torquay correspondent was
insistent, and finally a letter came from
her saying that she had come to Lon
don on purpose to meet her lord and
master, and would await him at a seat
just east of the fountain in the Crystal
Palace at a certain hour.
Disraeli read the missive with im
patience the idea of his meeting an
unknown woman in this fish-monger
manner at a hurdy-gurdy show!
He tossed the letter into the fire.
The next day another letter came
expressing much regret that he had
not kept the appointment, but saying
she would await him at the same place
the following day, and begging him,
aa the matter was very urgent, not to
fail her.
Disraeli smiled and showed the let
ter to his wife.
She advised him to go.
When his wife said he had better do
a thing, he usually did it; and so he
ordered his carriage and went to meet
the impressionable lady of unknown
age, and condition at the seat just east
ofthe fountain.
It was a silly thing for the leading
member of Parliament to do to make
an assignation in a public place with a
fool-woman all London might be
laughing at him to-morrow!
He was on the point of turniLg back.
But he reached the fountain, and
there was his Destiny awaiting him.'
She was a little woman in window's
weeds, black lace mitts and felt shoes.
She lifted her veil and revealed a
face furrowed with years of experience,
but kindly.
She was agitated she really did not
expect him and the great man gave a
sigh of relief when he saw that no
flashily dressed peroxide of odium had
entrapped him.
Even if people stared at England's
great statesman sitting there on a pie-
beian bench it made no difference,
In half pity heshook hands with the; as washer wish, with Benjamin Dis
passive little old woman. Then hejraeli. Lord Privy Seal, EarlBea-
sat down beside her, calmed her agi
tation, spoke about Cornwall and the
weather, and inquired what he could
do for her.
A rambling talk about nothing fol
lowed, and Disraeli was sure it was
just a mild case of lunacy.
As he arose to go the woman hand
ed him an envelope, saying she had
written out her case and begged him to
read the letter when he had time.
The man was preoccupied.
His mind was centered on great af
fairs of State. He simply crushed the
NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.
Amon? the standard criticisms is
one that the newspapers devote a pre
ponderant part of their space to scan
dal and crime. The pulpit, as if in
waves, says the Toledo Blade, levels
attacks upon the press. Sociologists
devote long chapters of their books to
the subject. Lecturers and writers of
various prominence and degree of abil
ity have warmed up at thought of
mischief.
A defense of the newspapers has
now come from a source of authority.
Arthur L. Street, for sixteen years a
professional indexer of current litera
ture, read-all the leading newspapers
of the country last year for the pur
pose of gaining comparative statistics
of news items. The result will snr
prise newspaper critics as they gratify
newspaper editors. Mr. Street's total
records cover 35,000 items of news,
only those being considered which
were given proaunence in big type or
are placed in positions where they
would attract the eyes of the readers.
Mr. Street's report shows that:
There were six times aa many items
referring to public leaders and import
ant business men as to all the notori
au crimes and scandals. The Thaw
case appeared in the leading papers
139 times. Germany and threat
Britain were mentioned more than 300
times. Russia, 295 times, Japan, 283;
France, 143, and China, 133. A little
over 1,300 crimes and scandals were
given prominent position. In the
same position appeared 397 educa-

letter foots aid pocket of his over
coat, bade the wotjeaa a dignified good
day and turned away.
It was a moat before he found the
letter, all crumbled and soiled, there
where he had placed it He really
had forgotten where it came from.
TheCTYelGpe-WTasopenedrand out
dropped a crisp:Bank of England note
for one thousand'pounds.
This money was to pay for certain
legal advice, the' letter said.
The advice was of a trivial nature,
and Disraeli, always conscientious in
money matters, hastened to return the
money in person- and gave the advice
gratis.
Ah! the lady had won. He had
come to her. He remained an hour.
He held her hand at parting. And
this was all she wanted. She wanted
to see him at close range to hear him
talk just to her to her alone.
Letters followed, and this developed
into a daily correspondence, wherein
the old lady revealed the story of her
passion a passion as delicate, earnest
and all-devouring as ever a girl of
twenty knew.
Insane, you say. Well, ah, er yes.
But then, love is illusion, perhaps
life is illusion, a very beautiful rain
bow, and why old folks should not be
allowed to chase a rainbow or allow
sweet emotion to gurgle gleefully un
der their lee a bit ai well as young
folks I do not know.
Then, really, is love simply a physi
cal manifestation or a soul emotion,
and do spirit grow old? If so, where
then is our belief in the immortality
ofthe soul?
Mrs. Willyums was childless, had
been a widow, was rich and her heart
had been in the grave until she began
to trace the record of Disraeli. She
was a reclue. She read, studied, fed
on Disraeli, She loved him.
After several years of dreaming and
planning she had actually bagged the
quarry. She was a woman of educa
tion and ideas. Her letters were in
teresting and Disraeli's letters to her,
now published, reveal the history of
his daily life as he never told it to an
other. At her death the bulk of Mrs.
Willyum's fortune something like
forty thousand pounds went by will
to Disraeli. j
But Mrs. Disraeli was not jealous of
this affection. Why should a woman
of sixty be jealous of another woman
the same age? They pooled their love
and grew rich together in recounting
it Presents were going backward and
forward all the time between Disraeli's
; country home and Torquay.
Mrs. Willyums finally went to
Hugheeden, Disraeli's home. There
died, and there she sleeps, side bv side.

And the reason the ex-Premier was

because he had promised these two
